"She'll Be There"

"She'll Be There"



When your dreams have died around you
She'll be there
When you need a hand to guide you
She'll be there
And when you feel rejected
'Cause life is not what you expected
I know that she'll be there

If I hadn't lied and cheated
She'll be there
If she wasn't so mistreated
She'll be there
And if you don't abuse her
I know you'll never, ever lose her
And she will always be there

I was too late to discover
How much I really did love her
But now, her place is with you
And I must face it
It's over with you

She'll be there
She'll be there

And if you don't abuse her
I know you'll never, ever lose her
And she will always be there

She'll be there
She'll be there
She'll be there

"She's Movin' In With Rico"

"She's Movin' In With Rico"


There were tears in her eyes when she gave me the news last night
I tried to disguise all the hurt that I felt inside
She said she'd always like to be my friend
Ooh, what could I say - this was the end

She's moving in with Rico, everybody's hero
She's moving in with Rico and she don't need me no more

We stood by the door and she put her hand in mine
Could have fell through the floor when we said our last goodbye
I just stood and watched her walk away
The love of my life is leaving today

She's moving in with Rico, everybody's hero
She's moving in with Rico and she don't love me no more

Suddenly, she was gone
How sad it feels to be alone
Now there's a stranger in my shoes
Some you win, and some you lose

Na na-na na na-na na na-na na na na
Na na-na na na-na na na-na na na na
She said she'd always like to be my friend
Ooh, what could I say - is this the end

She's moving in with Rico, everybody's hero
She's moving in with Rico and she don't need me no more

She's moving in with Rico, everybody's hero
She's moving in with Rico, she's moving in with Rico

"Shorty Blackwell"

"Shorty Blackwell"


Shorty Blackwell, Shorty Blackwell
Be friends with me, be friends with me
Shorty Blackwell, Shorty Blackwell
Be friends with me, be friends with me

I'm feeling very bad today
Another cat came into stay
He's eating all my food
He's speaking very rude
He's gonna change the mood

I'm feeling very bad today
A red balloon got in my way
It followed me around
But never touched the ground
What can I say?

He built a house upon a hill
Ask him if he's happy and then give him a pill
He's going mad
He bought another car today
Ask him if he's happy, then turn the other way
He's going mad [repeat over and over]

I'm feeling very bad today
Another cat came into stay
He's eating all my food
He's speaking very rude
He's gonna change the mood

Black and shiny now you've finally
Gotten everything you've wanted
And you're taunted by the power
That you really don't want anymore

Everybody's talking faster
Hurry up get me a master
I don't have much time to lose
And besides I'm polishing my shoes

Crossing the street
Watching your feet
Or you'll die in a thunderbird light
Wishing with all of your might
That you read the newspaper that
You forgot to buy today
How will you know what they do when they say
Say [repeat over and over]

I'm feeling very bad today
Another girl came by to stay
I can't think of a word
To tell you what I've heard
I've been away [10x]

I am my? [repeat continually as it fades]

"Since You Went Away"

"Since You Went Away"


You said you couldn't tell the doormat from my face
You said if I had brains I would pawn them
Could be I've finally gotten up off of my thumbs
Could be that you're the one that was on them

Cause the plants have grown
The dog came home
The bills are all getting paid
Things are much better since you went away
And I've changed my looks
I read new books
I've got friends that mean what they say
Things are much better since you went away

You said without your help I couldn't tie my shoes
You said without a doubt I'd be stranded
Could be that you were right and you had to fly the coop
Could be the eagle finally has landed

Cause the plants have grown
The dog came home
The bills are all getting paid
Things are much better since you went away
And I've changed my looks
I read new books
I've got friends that mean what they say
Things are much better since you went away

When I was younger I was told without another
I'd be incomplete and deflated
My chosen one has chosen to befriend another
And to my surprise -
I'm elated!

Cause the plants have grown
The dog came home
The bills are all getting paid
Things are much better since you went away
And I've changed my looks
I read new books
I've got friends that mean what they say
Things are much better since you went away
[repeat]

"So Goes Love"

"So Goes Love"



Girl, this is goodbye for us
I'm afraid there's no two ways about it
Now you say you need my love, But you'll just have to learn to live without it
So goes love
Don't try to understand it
So goes Love
It never goes the way you planned it

When you meant tohe world to me
Thats the time you said you didn't want me
You played around in front of me
Yeah, you did everything you could to taunt me

So goes love
Don't try to understand it
So goes Love
When it dies you can't disguise it

It's been said you've made your bed
And now you have to lie in it
Theres no denying its a shame
But there's really no one else for you to blame

So goes love
Don't try to understand it
So goes Love
It never goes the way you planned it

"Some Of Shelly's Blues"

"Some Of Shelly's Blues"



Tell me, just one more time,
The reasons why you must leave.
Tell me once more why you're sure you don't need me.
Tell me again, but don't think that you'll convince me.

Now you've said, before falling in love again
You'd rather be dead.
'Cause when someone breaks your heart
You cry your eyes read.
But there's nothin' so hard about the life that you've lead

As far as I can see there's no reason for "goodbyes."
You're just running scared and that's something I won't buy.

So you lose
I won't let you go with nothing to show but more blues.
And all this talk about leavin' is strictly bad news.
So you settle down and stay with the man that loves you.

"Someday Man"

"Someday Man"



Some people always complain
That their life is too short so they hurry it along
Their worries drive them insane
But they still go along for the ride

As for me, I have all the time in the world

I was born a someday man
I'm a maybe child
I was born a someday man
I was always wild

Tomorrow's a new day, baby
Anything can happen
Anything can happen at all

Some folks are working for reasons
And waiting for answers they're never gonna find
They keep on searching for pleasures
And looking so hard they can't see

But for me, life can be a sweet holiday

I was born a someday man
I'm a maybe child
I was born a someday man
I was always wild

Tomorrow's a new day, baby
Anything can happen
Anything can happen at all

I was born a someday man
I'm a maybe child
I was born a someday man
I was always wild

I was born a someday man
I'm a maybe child
I was born a someday man
I was always wild

"Sometime In The Morning"

"Sometime In The Morning"



Sometime in the morning
A simple thought may occur to you,
And you hold her,
And tell her all the things you never told her.
Your love has shown me things
I never thought I could see;
I didn't know
It could be done so easily.
Now I know
You're where it is for me.

Sometime in the evening
You're sitting there by the fireside
And she'll touch you
And you'll realize how much you never knew before,
How much you couldn't see.
You didn't know
It could be done so easily
Now you know
She's all a girl could be.

Now in her childlike eyes
You see the beauty there
You know it was always there
And you need no longer wear a disguise.

Sometime in the morning
You'll just reach out and she will be there,
Close as the summer air.

Sometime in the morning she will be there.

"St. Matthew"

"St. Matthew"



She walks around on brass rings that never touch her feet.
She speaks in conversations that never are complete.
And looking over past things that she has never done
She calls herself St. Matthew, when she is on the run.

She stoops down to gather partly shattered men
And knows that when it's over it will start again.
Both the times she smiled it was a portrait of the sun.
She calls herself St. Matthew, when she is on the run.

Part of it is loneliness and knowing how steal.
But most if it is weariness from standing up, trying not to kneel.

She discovered three new ways that she could help the dead.
Sometime she must raise her hand to tell you what she said.
Then standing in a landslide she suddenly becomes
A girl that's named St. Matthew, when she is on the run.

Part of it is loneliness and knowing how steal.
But most if it is weariness from standing up, trying not to kneel.

She discovered three new ways that she could help the dead.
Sometime she must raise her hand to tell you what she said.
Then standing in a landslide she suddenly becomes
A girl that's named St. Matthew, when she is on the run.

"Star Collector"

"Star Collector"


Think I'll let her keep on going
Where ever it is, she's goin', too.
Give her my autograph and tell her
It's been nice knowin' you.

[Chorus:]
She's a star collector (collector of stars)
She only sims to please young celebraties.
She's a star collector (collector of stars)
How can I love her, when I just don't respect her?

When everthing is goin' my way,
She wants to be close at hand.
She moves to some other doorway
When things don't go the way she planned.

[Chorus]

It won't take much time before I get her off my mind

[Chorus]
